Why Johns Hopkins?

Our Pediatric Pulmonology fellowship program provides one of the best and most comprehensive fellowships in the nation, personalized to meet the fellow’s needs.

• Clinical: Owing to our large catchment area as well as national and international referrals, our program cares for a diverse patient population with varying acuity, including rare diagnoses. We also offer multiple sub-subspecialty and interdisciplinary clinics, opportunities in interventional procedures, exposure to sleep medicine, etc. Clinical time is balanced over 3 years (not front-loaded) to maximize education and mimic real-life schedules.
• Research: Johns Hopkins is one of the premiere institutions for medical research worldwide and offers a variety of research opportunities and training, even for applicants without experience in research.
• Education: Our fellows attend (and lead) clinical and research seminars, board review sessions, radiology rounds, classes at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and numerous other teaching sessions. We also provide sessions on grant writing, career development, interviewing, negotiation, etc.
• Support: Our program features a supportive faculty group that is small enough to know well, but yet large enough to learn from different practice styles. Our fellows consistently report better well-being than the national means on ACGME surveys. Our fellowship is an ACGME-accredited program funded by a T32 grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Fellows are funded for all three years of fellowship.
• Careers: Our graduates have launched successful careers at numerous academic centers across the nation as well as working in the public and private sectors.
• Baltimore: Baltimore is a cost-effective, centrally located East Coast city with close proximity to Washington DC. The area is known for its great food, lots of outdoor recreation, amazing museums, and charming neighborhoods.
